    Man. Not sure what to make of this. Drafting a brother of a recent draft pick this early seems risky. Oh well I hope the player development brain trust know something here

    Ugh, and it feels like history just repeated itself today.

    With Harrison out, and Sproat mostly ineffective except in spurts, the top 1-3 for the rotation down the stretch is Miz and ...... So if they don't get a SP or 2, the team may do well, but it will feel all to similar where there is constant scrambling to figure out who starts in key games in Aug/Sep and who pitches in the playoffs.

    Well, it appears that is the most likely explanation. Good luck to Isais.

    "Letson, Dubanewicz, Broughton All Starting - Sign Us Up!" Well, thanks Mass for that jinx😉 Letson was ok, but Broughton and Dubanewicz roughed up a bit. At least Nashville offense came to play tonight. Is Luke Adams next on the call up parade??

    I don't know the draft as well as any of you, but I do agree if there is not a particular player or trait that the FO wants, I am all for drafting SS and CF. Keep those position players stocked - as depth is always a good thing to have and depth pieces can be moved for players of need later (see Holobetz/Yophery for Priester; Durbin/Mona for Harrison). I suspect some 11-20 round HS pitchers, and wonder if other teams will do that as well?? The other is while we don't have high profile pitching prospects at the moment, the big league club and upper levels have 8-10 potential MLB arms that are mostly 24-27 and have 3+ years of control, which gives the '24/'25 HS pitching group some time to develop. But we rarely hit on international pitchers, so that is always an area of need to keep filling. But the M.O. is to do so in later rounds.

    I love perusing this thread and seeing some info and intel on some draft prospects, and I think we have had a few in prior years that the Brewers did pick. Has anyone done a deep dive into our prior draft threads to see which players discussed wound up with the Brewers or drafted around the spots predicted? Just curious more than anything. Excited for this weekend and then coming here to learn more about the next 10-20 players the Brewers get to add to their already promising pipeline.

    The "throw away" picks (I mean these are talented kids, but maybe drafted in the top 10 to save money when they were borderline top 10 picks) have been just the opposite the past few years - like Yoho in 2023, and Ragsdale and Owens in 2024. All three seemed surely like save some money for the post 10th round players. And while they did serve that purpose, these 3 in particular have been really good. You can add Kuehner and Manfredi to 2023 as well (Kuehner, Yoho, Manfredi combined to sign for $110,000!). In 2024 the only really low bonus signing was DeBerry in Round 3 (which is just amazing to think we picked up a 3rd rounder for $25k and he is actually pitching well in AA), and Sam Garcia (very mixed results). And Ragsdale was a true bonus payment in reality at $237,500 in round 6. I'm not sure what Andrew Healy signed for (not listed on BR.com) but Owens was the only top 10 round player who was under $100k.

    While the headliner was Yophery (and I was a fan of his), but I was worried that Holobetz could break out into a high quality pitching prospect. I guess for 1 year (or maybe more) of Priester it would be worth it, and good for the Red Sox if they develop him into a quality MLB starter.... But if not, feel free to return him back 😉
  10. biedergb
    That is a good point. Could be something to watch
  11. biedergb
    Meneses keeps it interesting. Gives up a couple of runs and has the bases loaded on some tough luck “hits” (I didn’t watch but sounds like could have been outs but due to where it was hit or where the IF were positioned). But then gets the K looking. Hits 96 on a fastball. Wagoner on in Knoxville. Gets 2 Ks then allows a single to right. He hit 99 mph on a strike . And gets the last guy swinging. Big win. 11-2
  12. biedergb
    Ragsdale with a HR to pad Biloxi’s lead. But Fischer with his 3rd K. Man I love his interviews, and his confidence and knowledge but he could be the next Lewis Brunson if he can’t get the Ks down (not in style of play but as a top prospect for a couple of years but struggling in the big show).
  13. biedergb
    Another Frank Cairone outing. 1.2 IP. Walked a couple of batters and then was lifted and the next batter hits a HR. So 2ER for Cairone’s ledger with 2BB, 0H, and 2K. Just amazing that he is pitching. Per gameday his max velocity was ~90.x mph.
  14. biedergb
    After giving up 2 runs to tie it, T-Rats get a 4 spot. Dickinson with a 2-run HR to left, 103.3 EV
  15. biedergb
    Yeah once he stopped walking a bunch of guys he starting this streak. Let’s hope it contonues
  16. biedergb
    Pretty nice pitching line for DeBerry. Who has the starting pitching line of the night - him or Wande Torres? And Made and Pena with good nights tonight. Fischer though a couple more Ks and his K rate rises again. Man I wish he could cut that down in the second half.
  17. biedergb
    Well that TRats line up banged out 14 runs. And Dinges, Bitonti, Hall and Dickinson hit well. Add pens and Payne and it can be a really solid line up. But compared to Biloxi it’s hard to compare. It was like comparing to last years Mudcat line up in April. Which is like most of Wisconsin and Biloxi line ups - early 2024 Mudcats plus a few of the 2025 picks.
  18. biedergb
    Fischer gives insightful and entertaining interviews. He sounds like a very good teammate, he is always talking up his teammates. If the world were up to Andrew Fischer we have 12-20 future MLB All stars in AA and High A. I mean that’s what you want is a guy who talks up his teammates. But he;s also not wrong in that there are a lot of potential MLB caliber players at those 2 levels.
  19. biedergb
    Good point, so Fitz when healthy, and I was forgetting Rom.
  20. biedergb
    I mostly agree with @Jim French Stepstool For the MLB portion of the rule 5 draft they have to be MLB players, so position players have to be much more advanced, and I just don't see Wood being advanced enough to occupy a spot, so he is safe. Manfredi is tricky, like all relievers, they are the easiest to stash, but I just don't see him as consistent enough to warrant big league innings for most of the year. I hope he proves me wrong this year, but Jett and Adams could be big leaguers this year if there was a need, so a team would roll the dice on either one as an IF and pinch hitter and occasional starter. Wagoner is tough until he hits AAA, but with that velocity he could deserve a spot, as velo guys are the ones teams will roll the dice on. Manfredi - with the number of LHP in the 'pen that the team could use (Hall, Ashby, Rob Z, Koenig plus Fitzpatrick if/when healthy, and Zerpa hopefully back sometime next year) Manfredi could be a trade candidate to give him a shot.

    one of my all time favorite X file episodes. I may watch it again tongiht
  22. biedergb
    At the top of the draft it could be better than 2023, as Fischer is already hitting better than Wilken did in 2023, and Ebel if he can stay SS or 3B has more positional availability than Bitonti or Boeve. Knoth is returning from injury and may be the key to the top 5 rounds given that Wilken is off prospect status, Boeve is a likely DH, Birchard is still trying to figure it out, and Woodward is slowly coming back from injury. But 2023 was a new gold standard for the later picks (Pratt, Yoho, Letson, Adamczewski) as a super talented 4 some. If Ragsdale, Owens, Hughes/Mills, Bentley/Roupe/Holden can recreate some of that magic, then this system can remain stocked for years
  23. biedergb
    Knoth looked fine in the 2nd inning. Threw a couple nice curves and a 96 mph fastball to the last batter. This was confirmed by the announcer - planned short rest start for Knoth.
  24. biedergb
    I saw that and remembered he went 5 innings on Tuesday, so maybe just a limit given he is coming back? I can try to log in to watch later.
  25. biedergb
    Thanks. Also - Ricki Moneys raised his WRc+ from 118 to 128 with just yesterday's game. That is wild
